The band – singer A/J Jackson, guitarist Aaron Sharp, bassist Dak Jones and drummer Greg Erwin – came dashing out of Orange County in 2009 with their six-song, six-video EP “ForPlay.” They became live favorites, playing just about every festival you can imagine regionally, and in 2012 released their full-length, “Voyeur.” Their new EP, “My Type,” which came out in August via Parlophone Records, was built around a single they self-released in the summer of 2013. And they’ve made most of their progress on their own.
Said Jeff Castelaz, the Elektra president who is former head of L.A.-based indie Dangerbird Record: “Not only is Saint Motel an exceptional live band who writes stylish, brash pop songs, but … they are also the ultimate group of self-starters, who have built a substantial audience and a healthy business prior to landing on our doorstep.â€
